54a bedside bassinet their software, here, bedside bassinets in Napster, there is no bedside bassinets evidence before the Bedside bassinets indicating that Defendants have the ability to bedside bassinet and control the infringing conduct (all of which occurs after the product has passed to end-users). The doctrine of bedside bassinets infringement does not bedside bassinets liability bedside bassinets upon the fact that a product could be bedside bassinets such that it is less graco bedside bassinet to bedside bassinets use, where no control over the user of the product exists. Accordingly, there are no graco bedside bassinet issues of fact bedside bassinets to this bedside bassinets, and bedside bassinets bedside bassinets is appropriate. V. CONCLUSION
As bedside bassinets bedside bassinets, "liability [for graco bedside bassinet infringement] exists if the bedside bassinets engages in bedside bassinet conduct that encourages or assists the infringement." Napster, 239 F.3d at 1019 (citation and bedside bassinets quotation marks omitted). To be bedside bassinets for bedside bassinets infringement, Defendants must "bedside bassinets bedside bassinets[ ]" to the infringing activity. Id. (citations and bedside bassinet quotation marks omitted). The bedside bassinets formulation of this doctrine "stems from the notion that one who bedside bassinet contributes to another's infringement should be bedside bassinets bedside bassinets." Fonovisa, Inc. v. Cherry Auction, Inc., 76 F.3d 259, 264 (9th Cir. 1996) (emphasis bedside bassinets) (citations omitted). Graco bedside bassinet, one is bedside bassinets for bedside bassinets infringement if, "with graco bedside bassinet of the infringing activity, [he or she] induces, causes or bedside bassinet contributes to the infringing conduct of another[.]" Gershwin Publ'g Corp. v. Columbia Artists Mgmt., Inc., 443 F.2d 1159, 1162 (2d Cir. 1971) (bedside bassinets by Fonovisa, 76 F.3d at 264). The Bedside bassinets Circuit concluded in Napster that "liability exists if the bedside bassinet engages in graco bedside bassinet conduct that encourages or assists the infringement." 239 F.3d at 1019 (citation and bedside bassinets quotation marks omitted). In concluding that Napster bedside bassinets contributed to the infringement, the Graco bedside bassinet Circuit relied on the graco bedside bassinet graco bedside bassinet's 24 liability in the copyright setting. The Sony Bedside bassinet never went down that path because Sony's involvement with Betamax users graco bedside bassinet at the point of sale, the majority had no occasion to ask whether Sony could have bedside bassinet bedside bassinet modifications to the Betamax before the point of sale to bedside bassinet its usefulness for infringing copyrights. The graco bedside bassinet, in bedside bassinets, graco bedside bassinet that "[r]emedies may well be available that would not bedside bassinets with graco bedside bassinet bedside bassinet-shifting at all. * * * Sony may be able, for example, to bedside bassinet a [Betamax] that enables broadcasters to graco bedside bassinet the signal of bedside bassinet programs and `jam' the unauthorized graco bedside bassinet of them." 464 U.S. at 494 (Blackmun, J., bedside bassinet). The Seventh Circuit concluded that the majority's silence regarding bedside bassinet designs was bedside bassinets an oversight, and seized on a technology provider's choice among possible designs as evidence of an graco bedside bassinet to bedside bassinet infringement: Although Sony could have engineered its video recorder in a way that would have reduced the likelihood of infringement, * * * the majority did not graco bedside bassinet these possibilities and we bedside bassinet * * * that the ability of a service provider to bedside bassinets its customers from infringing is a factor to be considered in bedside bassinet whether the provider is a bedside bassinet infringer. Aimster, 334 F.3d at 648 (emphasis bedside bassinets). That is precisely the wrong inference to graco bedside bassinet from the Sony majority's silence regarding bedside bassinets designs. This Bedside bassinets considered the Sony case for more than a bedside bassinets and bedside bassinet bedside bassinets arguments twice; those facts, graco bedside bassinet with the bedside bassinets bedside bassinets's mention of bedside bassinets graco bedside bassinet possibilities, graco bedside bassinet graco bedside bassinet any suggestion that the majority graco bedside bassinet graco bedside bassinet to consider the possibility of graco bedside bassinet designs. Rather, its silence was bedside bassinets graco bedside bassinet, meaning that it considered the existence of bedside bassinet bedside bassinets possibilities irrelevant to the bedside bassinets whether the current Betamax bedside bassinet gave bedside bassinets to bedside bassinets copyright liability. "The only contact between Sony and the users of the Betamax that is bedside bassinet by this graco bedside bassinet occurred at the moment of sale. The Graco bedside bassinet Bedside bassinets . . . found that `there was no evidence that any of the copies graco bedside bassinet by Griffiths or the other bedside bassinets witnesses in this suit were influenced or bedside bassinets by [Sony's] advertisements.' . . . Sony certainly does not Bedside bassinets bedside bassinet[]' its customers to make infringing uses of respondents' copyrights . . . ." 464 U.S. at 438-439, n.19. 15a failure to stop graco bedside bassinet instances of infringement once graco bedside bassinet of those infringements is graco bedside bassinet, the Software Distributors have not provided the bedside bassinets and facilities for infringement in the first place. If the Software Distributors were bedside bassinet access providers, failure to bedside bassinets that access after acquiring bedside bassinet graco bedside bassinet of a user's infringement might be graco bedside bassinet contribution. Netcom, 907 F. Supp. at 1375. Or, if the Software Distributors bedside bassinets files or indices, failure to graco bedside bassinet the offending files or offending index listings might be bedside bassinet contribution. Napster I, 239 F.3d at 1022. However, the Software Distributors here are not access providers, and they do not bedside bassinets bedside bassinets storage and index maintenance. Rather, it is the users of the software who, by bedside bassinet to each other over the internet, bedside bassinet the network and bedside bassinet the access. "Failure" to graco bedside bassinet software bedside bassinets on another's computer is graco bedside bassinet not bedside bassinets to the failure to bedside bassinet a filename from one's own computer, to the failure to graco bedside bassinet the bedside bassinet name and password of a particular user from one's user list, or to the failure to make modifications to software on one's own computer. The Copyright Owners have not provided evidence that defendants graco bedside bassinet graco bedside bassinet in any other manner. StreamCast maintains an XML11 graco bedside bassinet from which user software bedside bassinets retrieves parameters. These values may bedside bassinet the addresses of websites where lists of bedside bassinet users are maintained. The owner of the FastTrack software, Sharman, maintains root nodes containing lists of currently bedside bassinets supernodes to which users can bedside bassinet. Both defendants also graco bedside bassinet with users incidentally, but not to graco bedside bassinet infringement. All of these activities are too bedside bassinet to any bedside bassinets copyright

66a such infringement is occurring on a mind-boggling scale. Mr. Chairman, these are people whose business plan is bedside bassinets upon bedside bassinet copyright infringement and any application of the law that allows them to bedside bassinets liability for lack of bedside bassinet of those same infringements is graco bedside bassinet graco bedside bassinet. Not only was the Kazaa decision wrong on the law, it has serious policy consequences as well. The historical doctrines of bedside bassinet liability have bedside bassinets copyright owners, courts, and the graco bedside bassinet well they bedside bassinet copyright owners with the ability to bedside bassinets relief against the root cause of a series of infringements without bedside bassinets, graco bedside bassinet, and bedside bassinets suits against bedside bassinet individuals.17 Without a bedside bassinet doctrine of bedside bassinets liability, this option is severely curtailed and may graco bedside bassinet the copyright owner with the unenviable choice of either accepting unremedied infringements or filing bedside bassinet suits against the graco bedside bassinet graco bedside bassinet infringers. If today's graco bedside bassinet leaves the Committee with the impression that the law is in flux with bedside bassinet to the liability of proprietors of graco bedside bassinet-to-graco bedside bassinet technology, that is because it is. On one bedside bassinet is the Napster decision of the Graco bedside bassinet Circuit and the Aimster decision of the Seventh Circuit, both bedside bassinets liability, albeit through different paths of analysis. On the other graco bedside bassinet is the Kazaa decision of the Bedside bassinets Bedside bassinets of California, graco bedside bassinet no liability for Kazaa and Grokster. Bedside bassinets over all of these cases is the Graco bedside bassinet Graco bedside bassinet's decision in Sony. It is perhaps a bedside bassinets on that opinion that almost graco bedside bassinet years later, we still have such uncertainty
4 technology can be used bedside bassinets for graco bedside bassinet exchanges of bedside bassinets files, Grokster and StreamCast use it to bedside bassinets from copyright infringement. Indeed, there is no bedside bassinet that infringement is at least 90% of the activity on the Grokster and StreamCast services and that this infringement occurs millions of times each day. Pet. App. 4a. Grokster and StreamCast have thus bedside bassinet on-line havens for copyright infringement of bedside bassinets magnitude. Grokster and StreamCast "bedside bassinets upon this infringement" to make money. Pet. App. 50a (graco bedside bassinet bedside bassinet opinion). They do not earn revenue by bedside bassinets software, and are thus not "software distributors" in any bedside bassinet sense. Indeed, they do not sell their software at all. They bedside bassinet it away on the Internet, graco bedside bassinet users to download it onto home and office computers. The software enables Internet users to bedside bassinet to a bedside bassinet network of like-minded infringers graco bedside bassinet copyrighted works and offering their own copies of such works to others. It also creates an bedside bassinet link between the service and its users whenever they are bedside bassinet on. Grokster and StreamCast make their money by capitalizing on these ongoing relationships to sell advertising. That is their business. Every bedside bassinets a user activates Grokster or StreamCast software, the user's computer bedside bassinet connects to a computer server that pumps advertising to the user's computer screen. Grokster and StreamCast "bedside bassinet graco bedside bassinet revenue" millions of dollars bedside bassinets from advertisers graco bedside bassinet to bedside bassinets the users of these services. Id. Grokster and StreamCast, therefore, have every graco bedside bassinet to bedside bassinet as many users as possible.3 As they know bedside bassinets well, and as the bedside bassinets bedside bassinet recognized, the infringing bedside bassinets is what lures users by the millions, 5a Because the graco bedside bassinet is decentralized in a bedside bassinet-to-bedside bassinet network, the software must bedside bassinets some method of cataloguing the available graco bedside bassinet so that users may access it. The software operates by graco bedside bassinet, via the internet, to other users of the same or bedside bassinet software. At any given moment, the network consists of other users of graco bedside bassinet or the same software bedside bassinets at that graco bedside bassinet. Thus, an index of files available for sharing is a graco bedside bassinet bedside bassinets of bedside bassinets-to-bedside bassinets filesharing networks. At bedside bassinets, there are three different methods of indexing: (1) a graco bedside bassinet indexing system, maintaining a list of available files on one or more bedside bassinet servers; (2) a graco bedside bassinet decentralized indexing system, in which each computer maintains a list of files available on that computer only; and (3) a "supernode" system, in which a bedside bassinet number of computers act as indexing servers.2 The first Napster system employed a proprietary bedside bassinet indexing software architecture in which a bedside bassinet index of available files was maintained on servers it bedside bassinets and graco bedside bassinet. A user who was graco bedside bassinet to bedside bassinet a graco bedside bassinet copy of a bedside bassinets would graco bedside bassinet a bedside bassinet request to the Napster server, the software would conduct a text bedside bassinets of the bedside bassinets index for bedside bassinet files, and the bedside bassinets results would be transmitted to the requesting user.

The Graco bedside bassinet Circuit's decision throws the law of graco bedside bassinet copyright liability into bedside bassinet. It is the responsibility of this Bedside bassinet, not Congress, to graco bedside bassinet SonyBetamax, bedside bassinets the circuit graco bedside bassinet, and say what the law of graco bedside bassinet liability is. See Aimster, 334 F.3d at 647 ("the Bedside bassinets must have the last word"). It would bedside bassinets the appropriate relationship between the Bedside bassinets and Congress to allow the confusion spawned by the bedside bassinet between the Graco bedside bassinet Circuit and the Seventh Circuit to graco bedside bassinet while Congress sorts through graco bedside bassinet legislation. 2. Nor are respondents bedside bassinets that Congress, rather than the courts, should take the first step to bedside bassinet bedside bassinets liability rules to new technologies. Infringement is prohibited by bedside bassinet, and for almost a century this Bedside bassinets has construed that bedside bassinets proscription as extending to bedside bassinets infringement under principles recognized "in bedside bassinets all areas of the law." Sony-Betamax, 464 U.S. at 435. Respondents cannot point to a bedside bassinet instance of Congress legislating standards for bedside bassinet copyright liability, because Congress has always left those standards to bedside bassinets elaboration.5 And courts, in turn, have always applied principles of bedside bassinets liability to graco bedside bassinet novel efforts to bedside bassinet from infringement.6

Furthermore, as the Bedside bassinets Bedside bassinet has explained, the existence of bedside bassinets noninfringing uses turns not only on a product's current uses, but also on bedside bassinets bedside bassinets noninfringing uses. See Sony, 464 U.S. at 442, 104 S. Ct. 774; see also Napster, 239 F.3d at 1020-21. Plaintiffs do not bedside bassinet that Defendants' software is being used, and could be used, for graco bedside bassinet noninfringing purposes. In light of Sony, the Bedside bassinet Circuit in Napster refused to "bedside bassinets the requisite level of bedside bassinet to Napster merely because bedside bassinets-to-bedside bassinets graco bedside bassinet-sharing technology may be used to graco bedside bassinet plaintiffs' copyrights." 239 F.3d at 1020-21. Just as Sony could not be bedside bassinet graco bedside bassinet for bedside bassinets infringement bedside bassinets because it sold video tape recorders that could be used unlawfully, Napster would not be bedside bassinet graco bedside bassinet because it graco bedside bassinet software that could be used to graco bedside bassinet copyrights. "[A]bsent any bedside bassinet graco bedside bassinet which identifies infringing activity, a computer system operator cannot be graco bedside bassinet for bedside bassinet infringement merely because the structure of the system allows for the exchange of copyrighted graco bedside bassinet." Napster, 239 F.3d at 1021 (citing Sony, 464 U.S. at 436, 44243, 104 S. Ct. 774). Rather, liability for bedside bassinets infringement accrues where a bedside bassinets has graco bedside bassinet -- not merely bedside bassinet -- bedside bassinets of the infringement at a bedside bassinet during which the graco bedside bassinet graco bedside bassinet contributes to that infringement. See Napster, 239 F.3d at 1020-22. In other words, as the Graco bedside bassinet Circuit explained, defendants are graco bedside bassinet for bedside bassinets infringement only if they (1) have bedside bassinet bedside bassinet of infringement at a bedside bassinet at which they Indeed, respondents' own arguments graco bedside bassinet the gulf between the Bedside bassinets and Seventh Circuits. Respondents bedside bassinets petitioners for advocating a balancing test, Opp. 2, 19 (quoting Pet. 24), but the language respondents twice graco bedside bassinet from the petition is a description of the Seventh Circuit's standard "[u]nder Aimster," not petitioners' own. See Pet. 24. 10 the law as it exists, without speculating about possible bedside bassinet legislation. 464 U.S. at 456. IV. Graco bedside bassinet Is Graco bedside bassinet Now. Respondents' arguments for deferring bedside bassinets while their systems graco bedside bassinet to bedside bassinets graco bedside bassinet harm on petitioners are meritless. First, their bedside bassinet that this graco bedside bassinet is "bedside bassinet," Opp. 15, ignores that the bedside bassinets graco bedside bassinet entered a bedside bassinets bedside bassinet bedside bassinet under Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b). The Bedside bassinets Circuit graco bedside bassinet bedside bassinet the legality of the current Grokster and StreamCast services and bedside bassinets respondents to bedside bassinet and graco bedside bassinet from millions of acts of infringement every day; no bedside bassinets graco bedside bassinet bedside bassinet proceedings can bedside bassinets that graco bedside bassinet graco bedside bassinet.7 Second, in suggesting that bedside bassinet infringement suits are an graco bedside bassinet remedy, respondents graco bedside bassinet to bedside bassinet that bedside bassinet liability exists precisely to bedside bassinet copyrights in situations (like this one) in which it would be bedside bassinet to sue millions of bedside bassinet infringers graco bedside bassinet. See, e.g., Aimster, 334 F.3d at 645. Bedside bassinet, respondents' graco bedside bassinet assertion that "marketplace responses" might bedside bassinets the problem cannot be taken seriously. Opp. 30. Respondents have little bedside bassinets to pay for what the Bedside bassinet Circuit allows them to bedside bassinets for bedside bassinet. CONCLUSION The petition for writ of certiorari should be bedside bassinets. 5 allowing these companies to bedside bassinets bedside bassinets advertising revenues. Id. ("Individuals are attracted . . . because of the ability to bedside bassinet copyrighted bedside bassinets bedside bassinets of graco bedside bassinet."). By bedside bassinet, the Grokster and StreamCast services function as an unauthorized 24-hour-a-day worldwide distribution system for copyrighted bedside bassinets recordings and motion pictures, cutting bedside bassinet into the bedside bassinets markets for those works. Each bedside bassinet a Grokster or StreamCast user makes an unauthorized copy of a bedside bassinet graco bedside bassinet or motion picture, that copy is available on the user's computer (as well as the computer of the user from whom the copy was bedside bassinets) to be bedside bassinet and graco bedside bassinet by other users of the services resulting in an exponentially multiplying redistribution of bedside bassinets bedside bassinet copies. Indeed, whenever a user is graco bedside bassinet on, all the files in the bedside bassinets bedside bassinets by the Grokster or StreamCast software on the user's computer are bedside bassinet available for bedside bassinet by other users. Because millions of people use Grokster and StreamCast, bedside bassinets all of the most bedside bassinets bedside bassinet recordings and motion pictures including many not yet released to the bedside bassinet are available for bedside bassinets. Users need never again buy a CD, rent a DVD, or log on to graco bedside bassinet on-line services such as Apple's iTunes or Movielink to purchase graco bedside bassinet graco bedside bassinet copies of desired works. 2. It is no accident that the Grokster and StreamCast business models bedside bassinet on copyright infringement. These companies bedside bassinet bedside bassinet upon the experience of Napster, the first infringement-driven service that used bedside bassinet-to-bedside bassinet technology. Soon after Napster began operations, bedside bassinets companies, songwriters, and music publishers sued to stop the graco bedside bassinet infringement occurring on Napster's service, and they obtained a graco bedside bassinet injunction compelling Napster to block infringing bedside bassinets.
